A.N.Z.A.C Poem

ANZAC Day is a national holiday in Australia. We commemorate the soldiers that went to war and be grateful that we weren’t there.
Here is a poem I wrote from the point of view of an A.N.Z.A.C soldier.
I understand that war is bad now.
I say “Don’t worry we’ll survive.” to another soldier.
I dream to see my family again.
I try to save as many people as possible but I can’t save as many as I would like to.
I hope I don’t die here.
I pretend it’s going to be okay.
I feel sad because lots of people around me are dying.
I touch dead bodies that are scattered around me.
I worry that I might die here.
I cry because I can’t believe how many people have already died.
I hear guns shooting ang bombs exploding.
I see dead men lying in the dirt.
I want to go home.
I wonder what would have happened to me if I hadn’t come here.
I am an ANZAC soldier.
